"I've watched you from deep behind Norman's cowardly eyes, struggling to have everything you want, while the world tries to make you choose. Gods don't have to choose. We take."
―Green Goblin[src]

Norman Osborn was the founder and CEO of Oscorp and the supervillain known as the Green Goblin. Osborn was transported from his universe to Earth-199999 when Peter Parker tampered with Doctor Strange's spell to make the world forget that he is Spider-Man.

Biography[]

Early Life[]

Norman Osborn shared the history of his counterpart; until he was transported from his universe into Earth-199999.

Spider-Man: No Way Home[]

Due to a spell cast by Stephen Strange, Norman was pulled into an alternate universe from a time before he died. Norman managed to regain control from his alternate persona and befriended May Parker, who encouraged Peter Parker to cure all of the villains that were also pulled into Peter's universe. Norman and Peter worked together on creating a cure, giving Otto Octavius a new inhibitor chip before the Green Goblin persona reasserted control over Norman's body. The Goblin convinced the uncured villains to turn against Peter before engaging him in a battle that demolished Happy Hogan's condo. Aunt May managed to inject the Goblin in the neck with an anti-serum that Norman had developed for the Goblin Formula, but it failed to work on him. Desiring to free Peter of his "weakness," the Goblin mortally impaled May with his glider and blew up the condo with one of his pumpkin bombs before flying away.

Peter was subsequently joined by two other versions of Spider-Man, one of whom is Norman's own Peter, and the three versions of Spider-Man came together to create cures for the villains brought into the alternate Peter's universe. Norman's Peter was able to create an anti-serum for the Goblin Formula to save him, telling the alternate Peter that he had been thinking about how to do it for a long time.

After the Spider-Men and Octavius cure the other villains at the Statue of Liberty, Peter-Two curing Flint Marko, Peter-One curing Curt Connors, and Octavius curing Max Dillon, the Goblin appeared and destroyed Strange's spell with one of his pumpkin bombs, then used his glider to knock Peter-One away before he can save Michelle Jones-Watson from falling to her death, resulting in Peter-Three having to save her himself. The vengeful Peter-One destroyed the glider with another pumpkin bomb, then engaged the Goblin in battle, beating him up and nearly impaling him with the glider before Norman's Peter stopped him. The Goblin non-fatally stabbed Peter-Two in the back and taunted Peter-One about being the one who killed May, but Peter-One retaliated by injecting him in the neck with the anti-serum thrown to him by Peter-Three, destroying the Green Goblin persona and reverting Norman back to normal. Norman was left horrified and remorseful over his own actions before being returned to his universe along with Octavius, Marko, and their Peter when Strange cast the spell to make everyone in the alternate universe forget about the existence of their own Peter.

Powers[]

Abilities[]

  • Genius-Level Intellect: Norman was an incredibly intelligent individual; even before he was exposed to the Goblin Formula.
  • Resources: Norman had an almost inexhaustible amount of wealth at his disposal. He used this to acquire advanced technologies and other weaponry for his vendetta against those who stand in his path.

Appearances/Actors[]

Behind the scenes[]

  • At 66, Willem Dafoe agreed to return as Green Goblin as long as he was allowed to film his own fight scenes and stunts.

Trivia[]

  • Due to Norman/Green Goblin first appearing riding with his glider, it is possible that his appearance in Earth-199999 took place before he dragged his world's Spider-Man to an abandoned garden where Norman/Green Goblin died by his own glider while attempting to kill his Spider-Man, shortly after the latter saved their world's Mary Jane Watson and the hostage children from falling with the help of New York people at the Queensboro Bridge.
    • As Norman knew of his Peter's identity since accidentally discovering it at Thanksgiving, the former coming from a time not right before his death is a possibility as it was never explicitly stated when he was coming from.
